Best Businesses in Austin, TX

Barry is as good as small business owners come.  We had a good experience overall having fitting room lights and a switch installed, but an issue with the billing after the fact.  Barry took our concerns very seriously, did an investigation on his end, and made it right.  I highly recommend Barry and the team at Beckett!

Amazing company, always shows up when they say they will. Guys are funny and explain everything very well. I would highly recommend this company

After owning a couple homes and living in Austin for most of my life, I've finally found an HVAC person who is trustworthy, reliable, and competent. My furnace has had such a bad history; shortly after buying the house 5 years ago, I discovered a part that was going out (induced draft motor). The home warranty people wouldn't replace until it completely died (I got rid of them instead). Then, I went to the old standby company I used to use (Strand), told them I didn't have money for a new system, and yet they tried to sell me and scare me that soon I wouldn't be able to get parts. Their estimate was twice the price Rick Spicer actually charged.  He was completely honest and assured me if well maintained for my furnace could have years and years of life left in it. I learned a big lesson. Thanks Rick for the excellent service at a great price.

Jimmy was a life saver!  Came out same day and saved me from worries of a wooden house and  a faulty switch!

The reviews on Yelp are always helpful and Ruiz Electric lives up to the ratings he has. Aurelio is very professional, prompt and does top notch work. He installed 3 ceiling fans, 2 pendant lights and an additional outlet for our home. All the work completed was very clean and in excellent condition.

We are re-placing a chandelier in our dining room later this month and will be using Aurelio again. His prices are very reasonable and the work he gets done in the amount of time is phenomenal! Thank you again for all of the outstanding service.

Update* - we had our chandelier installed, it was a 12 foot ceiling and Aurelio has no problem getting this done. He even changed out the electrical / chain on the new one so that it fit correctly, great work again! Thank you Ruiz Electric!

Absolute Electric will figure out your electric troubles, and explain it in a way that we can understand. They do more than just hang a ceiling fan. They make sure it's right and safe. How come that light won't come on? Call them - They'll figure it out!

Scott has been amazing at helping me get my home generator up and running. Would definitely hire him again in the future.

They showed up punctualy and quickly diagnosed the problem with my Service Panel Box. Laid new wire and rewired wall box and no more breakers tripping. Definitely a professional crew.

Very professional! Arrived when promised, diagnosed and corrected problem. Michael, the dispatcher, and Jim, the tech, were great!

My husband and I bought a house that had been flipped, and since then had a remodel done by a less-than-precise contractor.  Needless to say, we regularly discover electrical issues.  I don't know about you, but electrical issues are some of the least-fun issues to have.  I heard rave reviews from a friend about Grant and the rest of the guys at Southern Cross, and have used them for our last two bouts of issues.  I am so so so so pleased.  Honestly I have never found a service provider of any kind whose work I am so confident in, who explains things so clearly, *and* who is pleasant to work with.  In regards to the other review, the first service call took a few days, but I called Grant this morning for our latest issue (involving our HVAC system) and he showed up just a few hours later.  Good on ya, Southern Cross Electric!

Our house started acting like Stranger Things all of a sudden; the lights were flickering and the fans would lose power, you could hear the fans slow down almost to a stop then speed back up to normal power.  This would happen every 30-40 seconds, it was maddening and obviously a bit worrisome. I called O.N. first thing in the morning and Oscar sent a team out within the hour. Yon and Joshua got to work immediately and found the issue, Oscar even showed up and explained everything to me.  Turned out the breaker box on the outside of the house was borked.  When Oscar turned a breaker off and back on, you could literally hear electricity crackling. Oscar gave me an estimate which I thought was fair and Yon and Joshua got to work.  After a few hours the house was no longer haunted and I had a proper breaker box set up.  I wish I had before and after pictures, my house is an older house and the previous box looked like the rusty insides of a 1970s AMC Gremlin.  

Highly recommend O.N. Electric, Oscar, Yon and Joshua saved the day.

Bob and his company did a great job installing our back porch outlets, fans and TV's a few years ago. I have recommended him and his company to many people. They do good quality work at a good value.

I had a cutoff box for my hot water heater go out on a very chilly December morning and the folks at Sunvison re-arranged one of their guys to come by (Fernando). He was professional, knowledgeable, and quick. He replaced the box, explained what went wrong and was on his way in less time than I thought the job would take and the price was right at what was quoted without even seeing the problem. I highly recommend these quality professionals. I am already deciding what project to bring them in on next.

I wanted to replace a light fixture in our entryway.  The job seemed easy enough, but the 20 ft. ceiling made it difficult.  Tomas had the right equipment and was very responsive.  He arrived on time and the quote for the work was very reasonable.  He even came back a week later to help install some different bulbs.  I would recommend his services to anyone who needs electrical work done in their home.

Very quick to respond and easy to work with. Honest work at a very good price. Will use again.

A friend of mine recommended the owner Steven Fikes to me so I went in and asked for him specifically for some work I have been looking into getting done. I was told by a colleague that he was out on a sick day so I thanked him and left.

Later that morning I'm notified by a family member that he had posted a video in a Facebook group in our community from his security footage of me walking back to my car in the parking lot, stating that someone sent their pregnant wife in regards to her husband doing illegal work and slandered me in the comments. As I am an 8 month pregnant wife, I have no idea what that was in regards to and believe he has me confused with someone/something else.

Either way, this is by far the most unprofessional thing I have ever encountered and I am still in disablief how something so insignificant got recorded and put on social media. If I could give zero stars I would. I'm confused and embarrassed to say the least.

If this is any indication of how this man conducts business, I would steer clear and far from this establishment.

Got an estimate to replace all the switches and sockets on the house as well as the vent/light/heater in two bathrooms. 3 days later, the work wasn't done, the fans were to small leaving the bathrooms exposed to the attic and every work area was trashed and required my wife and I to clean everything as they cleaned up none of their mess.  Send me the invoice with a due date of 1June, but calls my wife on 26 May wanting to know where their payment was. Stay far away from these guys, unless you like incomplete work, cleaning up after your contractors and being hassled to pay the bill early.

Here is what dunman sent me after they sent a install team to my building 1 hour early!  It's abrasively insulting! ABSOLUTELY AVOID!!!!!

You were advised that this would be at time and material as well as we discussed the hourly rates.  We were not able to reach you
when we attempted to run this call yesterday AM.  (ME: Front desk was instructed to let up 1 person to give an estimate, NOT a crew of installers 1 hour early)
Our company schedules approx 2- 3 weeks in advance and we have several customers that could have taken this time slot that we extended to you.
We did not speak to you again so I am uncertain as to how you knew
that the gentleman coming was not an estimator ( other than knowing our initial phone call had no mention of setting up only an estimate. )Based
on our attempts to take care of you yesterday and it being turned around like we are crazy for assuming you actually wanted us to do what you
requested, we do not wish to proceed with a bid at this time.

We have been stood up once for this work I do not wish to send an estimator at this time!

Thx,
Becky

This company is full of crap!!! I've been waiting a month for one of their plumbers to come out and the day of the service I get a call saying that the service I ordered is not one they provide. REALLY???? What the hell!!! If it's not a service you provide then don't keep me waiting for a month! Don't trust these people! Do yourself a favor and go with another company!
